Editor Harris of the Burlington
Clipper has what he calls facetious
column, in which he publishes the
weakest and silliest items which he
can Gull from his contemporaries. This

The butter factory project is hang
ing fire at present because a few of
the .'almOst persuaded refuse to
pledge the milk of their COWS for one
season. In the meantime parties in
terested, who live from two to four
miles away are offering to bring the
milk from their neighbors' cows for
one dollar a COW. Those who refuse
to have their butter made for 81 a
year for each cow, must be standing
in their own light. 1t can be proved
to the satisfaction of any man that
larger quantities of butter can be
made from the same milk, and better
average prices obtained by the facto-
~ than by the home process. We
hope our farmer friends will not lose
this opportunity of having factory
erected without cost to them, and
with the least possible risk.
